Between Every Heartbeat

INTRO (Gospel – soft, choir)

(Choir, background vocals)

Oh Lord, I’m down on my knees tonight,

Trying to love, trying to fight.

If this pain is part of Your plan,

Teach my heart to understand.

VERSE 1 (Melodic)

I didn’t know your name could sound like home,

Didn’t know silence could break my bones.

Every road I walked was incomplete,

Till your shadow started walking next to me.

I was made of cracks and second tries,

Smiling through the truth, living lies.

Then your eyes said what words never could,

You stayed, when no one else ever would.

PRE-CHORUS

I was losing faith in all the little things,

In promises that fade, in broken wings.

You showed me love don’t need to shout,

Sometimes it’s just staying, not walking out.

CHORUS (Big, emotional)

I feel you between every heartbeat,

In every breath I try to hide.

You’re the reason I still believe in

What I thought had already died.

If the world falls into pieces,

I’ll still find my way through you.

‘Cause loving you is the only truth

My heart knows how to do.

VERSE 2

You see the parts of me I never show,

The quiet wars I fight alone.

You touch my scars like they’re art, not pain,

Like every tear had something to gain.

I don’t need perfect, I don’t need forever,

Just this moment, us together.

In a life that never plays fair,

You’re the answer to every prayer.

RAP VERSE (Aggressive – Eminem vibe)

Yeah…

I hate the way I need you, love the way you stay,

Push you out my life, then beg you not to walk away.

I’m a storm in human skin, anger in disguise,

Screaming “I’m okay” with broken lullabies.

I break what I love, yeah, that’s my disease,

Say I’ll change tomorrow, still stuck on repeat.

Got my past in my blood, got my rage in my tone,

I don’t know how to love without feeling alone.

I shout, then I’m silent, I run, then I crawl,

Build walls just to watch myself fall.

You see a monster, I see a scared kid,

Same damn fire, just different sins.

don’t hit with fists, but my words cut deep,

Every fight another promise I couldn’t keep.

I say “leave me,” then I panic when you do,

I don’t hate you — I hate what I put you through.

So scream at me, break me, tell me I’m wrong,

I’d rather feel pain than feel numb all along.

If love is a war, I’m losing the fight,

But I still want you here when I’m losing my mind.

GOSPEL BRIDGE (Choir + Lead)

(Choir)

Hold him now, don’t let him fall,

He’s been fighting demons tall.

(Lead vocal)

Lord, if love is how I heal,

Show me how to make it real.

I don’t wanna bleed on those

Who only tried to hold me close.

FINAL CHORUS (Epic – choir + lead)

I feel you between every heartbeat,

In every breath, every sound.

You’re the home I was searching for

Before I even knew I was lost and found.

If this life is just a moment,

I’ll spend mine loving you.

‘Cause loving you is the only thing

My heart was born to do.

OUTRO (Soft gospel fade)

Oh Lord, if this love is fire,

Let it burn, don’t let it die.

Between the prayer and the pain,

I’ll choose love every time.
